Garden Tower Project

Anyone using one of these? I've seen them all over Facebook, and they seem to have some advantages, but I'm wondering if anyone has used one and can give a real deal review.
 
Here's a facebook gardening group with tons of active garden tower users (you have to join the group to view the posts): https://www.facebook.com/groups/962289800461399/  "GardenTrainingProject"  lots and lots of discussion and all from actual users
 
The "photos of garden tower project" photo stream is all user submitted photos and completely unmoderated: https://www.facebook.com/GardenTowerProject/photos_stream?tab=photos
 
From personal experience, the garden tower (1 or 2) is well suited to growing hot peppers IF you pay attention to the basic companion planting rules.  Brassicas (brocoli, brussel sprouts, cabbage, kale, etc) will severly stunt peppers!  Bushy pepper varieties generally produce well.  I would absolutely love to see a 100% pepper plant tower!
 
I am a part of the project!  Hope that helps a little.  Joel

If you research African keyhole gardens, you will find the garden tower borrows from traditional nutrient-recycling methodology.

Right. The difference is one is free, and the other has a little tray at the bottom to collect excess water and costs several hundred dollars. I'm not saying it won't grow plants...
